I found this collection of videos a week or so ago and have been enjoying them all. Very interesting gardens from famous to infamous. Each segment is about an hour long.
Enjoy and be inspired.

It is very windy and chilly down here in s.e. FL this Saturday afternoon, but the sun is shining and that is great. Yesterday was damp and depressing. The low for tonight is expected to be 44 real feel 38. That is cold for us down here.
This morning I baked two loaves of avocado bread, so the oven heated up the cottage. The avocado was a humongous one from my boss from his tree. I brought one loaf to Nanci my friend who has the shop next door to where I work. We had a slice with chai tea just a little while ago.
I’ve got a vegetable soup with little ham cubes in it cooking in the crockpot. My neighbors gave me some veggies from their churches’ food pantry last night so I wanted to use some of them up this morning and a soup sounded just right. I had the ham in the freezer from a sale of buy one get one free a few weeks back. I also used a container of organic veggie broth 32 oz. that I had in my cupboard from when making soups for DH, I added some water, a bay leaf, and some garlic and onion. It ought to be smelling yummy when I get home.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and a great week next week.
Don’t forget to count your blessings.

Mony Don is a gardener himself. He is back on TV here in the UK on ‘Gardener’s World’ after suffering a stroke not long after completing the series of 80 Gardens.
We watched the programmes on the BBC.
Your cooking plans sound delicious and cheering. Guten Appetit!
Oh, I can't wait for some spare minutes to start in looking at some of those gardens! What a treasure trove.
Your soup sounds yummy! And avocado bread makes me very curious...
I'll take a look! Thanks for sharing.
Have a great weekend.
Oooh, how neat. I love looking at gardens around the world.
I've never heard of avocado bread. Is it like banana bread?
OH My Goodness... Thanks for the garden videos.. We love to visit gardens --so seeing some of these makes me want to travel much more... ha
Cold up here too--but it's supposed to get warmer as we go through the week... We had snow off and on all weekend --but not much accumulation.
Your avocado bread sounds delicious.. So does your soup. This is perfect weather for SOUP.
Have a blessed day.
Hugs,
